How is the SIM Card configured? Who is the actual owner? Do I have to change my mobile number?

The service provides the student with a SIM card, to be used with any device suitable for housing it (e.g. a portable modem – also called "mobile hotspot" -, a mobile phone, a tablet). The University remains the owner of the distributed SIM cards; the student is registered as a user assignee, after signing an indemnity towards the University and assuming responsibility for the correct use of the service. The Sim card has its own telephone number. The student's personal Sim cards and telephone numbers will not be used for the service; it is therefore not necessary to change any number.

Is the service totally free? Are calls and texts also included in the SIM Cards?

The service is totally free of charge; the University bears the costs. The service provides only data traffic, within the threshold of 100 GB per month (usable on the national territory and within the European Economic Area), does not include telephone calls, text messages or other additional services.

Are there any other stores in addition to those on the map?

The affiliated stores are only those indicated on the map. Please note: during the search phase, the application presents only the available appointments; therefore, an enabled shop that is not available in the time slot searched for, does not appear among the results. Therefore, to consult the complete list of authorised shops, it is necessary to use the map made available on the application itself.

Does Infostud's technical assistance also answer questions that are not strictly technical and that concern the Sapienza 100 Giga initiative?

Infostud technical assistance will receive your questions and will therefore activate the most relevant competence centres, according to the type of problem reported. After the request of your Sim Card, you will also receive the details about the store you have selected, with which you can get in touch for any logistic needs.

Can I delegate a third party to collect the Sim?

Due to operational and procedural restrictions, the authorised shops can only deliver the Sim card to the specific applicant. You cannot delegate a third person to collect it. 

After the nine months of validity, is it necessary to return the card?

At the end of the nine months of validity, the card will be permanently deactivated by the University. The student does not need to return the physical card, which is of zero value and not reusable and can dispose of it.

Those who benefit from various exemptions (e.g. disability, DiscoLazio scholarships) have not declared their Isee because it is not a necessary step for the calculation of their tuition fees; hence they cannot apply. How to solve it?

If you want to access the service, you need to declare a valid Isee on Infostud. Its value must be between 0 and 26,000 euros, and it has to be requested at a Caf (tax advice centre) or on the Inps website.

Can Erasmus students access the benefit?

Erasmus students, since they have no career on Infostud, are not eligible.
